In the midst of holiday shopping and seasonal sales, it’s easy to get caught up in spending. But sometimes, the best things are free.
Over the years, HubSpot has developed a number of free tools and programs that we love to share with others.
In celebration of the giving season, we’ve packaged up 12 days of free features that you can use, no strings attached. (Well, maybe they’re tied up with a proverbial bow.)
12 Free Features & Tools for Marketers
1) HubSpot CRM
Give your sales team everything they’ve hoped for and more this holiday season: an entire, all-in-one customer relationship management platform. For free.
Our CRM is easy to adopt and helps businesses automate their sales processes to save time, money, and energy. HubSpot CRM comes with a searchable database to simplify researching and prospecting, powerful browser and email integrations, and impressive enrichment capabilities.
2) Free Stock Photos
Why pay for stock photos when you can get them for free? HubSpot’s new site, freestockphotos.org, catalogs photos that you can use for blog posts, social media, or wherever else you need high quality photos. The site is broken down into categories such as office supplies, technology and cities to facilitate your browsing. Not to mention, all photos are tagged and searchable. New photos are being added consistently, so keep checking back as you work on projects.
3) Website Grader
How’s your website doing? Great websites are key to attracting (and keeping) traffic. This free tool grades four key areas of your website: performance, mobile, SEO, and security. See how you rate in each of these areas and get actionable tips to make your website even better than it already is.
